On Random Multiple Dirichlet Series
In the sailing domain, a sailboat navigates to a destination on an 8-connected grid representing a marine environment, under fluctuating wind conditions.
Simple Regret Optimization in Online Planning for Markov Decision Processes
The duration of each such move depends on the direction of the move (ceteris paribus, diagonal moves take 2 more time than straight moves), the direction of the wind relative to the sailing direction (the sailboat cannot sail against the wind and moves fastest with a tail wind), and the tack.
Simple Regret Optimization in Online Planning for Markov Decision Processes
This sailing problem can be formulated as a goal-driven MDP over finite state space and a finite set of actions, with each state capturing the position of the sailboat, wind direction, and tack.
Simple Regret Optimization in Online Planning for Markov Decision Processes
In the sailing domain, we chose H to be 4 × n, where n is the grid-size of the problem instance, as it is unlikely that the optimal path between any two locations on the grid will be larger than a complete encircling of the considered area.
Simple Regret Optimization in Online Planning for Markov Decision Processes
As in the sailing domain, we compared the convergence rate obtained by BRUE, UCT and -greedy + UCT.
